After Action Report
In Washington, the Hornets pulled away from the Wizards 113-95. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
